Junis looks to be legit. Merrifield, Cuthbert, Bonafacio, and Orlando are ok but not franchise type players.

It has tended to fall completely apart without Salvador Perez in the past, so that isn’t surprising.
The building blocks for the future are Perez, Duffy, Mondesi, Merrifield, and Junis, if he keeps this up.
They need to figure Jorge Soler out, and that means playing him every goddamn day. It’s not looking promising.
Of guys at the high minors, I could see Griffin perhaps being a solid starter in the back end of the rotation. Maybe they eventually give Dozier a shot. But the interesting names to watch and dream on are all at A+ and below.
